    Fried chicken meal
    Samantha G.

    Ambiance: This restaurant is a casual counter order establishment. Service: The women at the service counter were friendly. Food: The food was actually better than I expected!! Everything tasted as you would get at a sit down restaurant rather than a "fast food" joint!

    If you are hungry, go to Aunt Granny's! My friend and I are on very specific diets and thought Aunt Granny's could accommodate us fairly well. We didn't realize it was all you can eat when we arrived and due to the time of day and lack of other options to accommodate our diet, we decided to stay. We ordered all the courses that come with the basic family style meal and barely made a dent in them. Since we didn't order any additional items, we asked if we could take our food to go, and we were told no. I understand that many people would probably order excessive items due to the all-you-can-eat nature of the restaurant and then take them all home. But for customers like us who didn't do that, taking our leftovers to go should be an option. Additionally, possibly consider charging an additional price for additional courses? Food waste is awful! All the main course meat dishes were very tasty and tender and I absolutely loved the side of cabbage!! Our server was very cordial. I recommend eating at Aunt Granny's, especially if you have a big appetite or a big family.

    All the food for 3 people.

    Service was good and waitress was attentive. This place is a family meal type place. Food has plenty of portions and includes desert also. You get three entrees and then four sides for our group of three. We ordered the fish, chicken, and sausage. Each could have used more flavor. Sides were ok. Green beans, a corn pudding type side, beans. It was crowded of course being located at Dollywood. We didn't have to wait for a table and were seated immediately. It was loud as was expected.

    There's a great variety of food here, and everything we've tried has been very good. The portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. It is a little bit pricey, but that's pretty standard for everything within Dollywood--and it's absolutely worth the money. This place is always a go-to whenever we visit Dollywood and never disappoints.

    Black eye peas were out of this world, catfish was fresh, and food came out quick. Wasn't exactly hot and macaroni & cheese, turnip greens, and cabbage lacked basic seasoning, so 1 star deduction. Our server Mila was fantastic!

    Good home cookin food in a theme park! Li e starts early and gets long. It's served family style. The server was polite and accommodating to our needs. We were served quickly and did not feel rushed. Casual with good sir conditioning inside.

    Pecan topped bread pudding. Served warm. I especially liked the crumble on top and contrasting crunchy/soft texture.

    Delicious food is an unexpected surprise at an amusement park! This was an incredible experience. It's no wonder why there is typically a long wait. We were fortunate enough to gain immediate access on a low attendance day. The staff were all very friendly, prompt, and helpful. We throughly enjoyed the food, especially the cornbread pudding side, and asked for multiple refills of the dish. The pot roast was quite flavorful and so tender! The chicken had a little bit of a spice to it so I didn't eat that much, but it was still tender. The establishment was clean and spacious. Food came out promptly and all orders were delivered with accuracy. I would certainly recommend this place if you have an opportunity and see for yourself how it lives up to its reputation. You won't be disappointed! One tip though- arrive hungry! It's all you care to eat and served family style, so you certainly won't leave with an empty stomach!

    Aunt Granny's is Dollywood's best and most popular restaurant. It is table service and while quite large inside can have long wait times. They don't take reservations but do have a wait list at the entrance and will text you when a table is ready. It is basically an all you can eat affair where your waitress brings the food you select to your table. You select up to 3 meats being offered and up to 4 side dishes for the table and then each person selects their dessert all from the menu. I chose fried chicken, pot roast and fried catfish with sides of mashed potatoes and brown gravy, corn pudding, green beans and salad. I thought all of this food was very good taste wise and was prepared in the "southern" way and that means it was delish. They also provide biscuits too. The dessert I chose was a chocolate pudding and crushed oreo's with whipped cream. Yes, it was good! The only negative was the table service was slow. Adult price for this meal that included everything including drinks is $27 so quantity and quality wise it's a good deal. This isn't typical theme park food. Come here very hungry and you won't leave that way because Aunt Granny will take care of you.

    During our week stay in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, this was our favorite restaurant. We ordered the pot roast, fried chicken, catfish, black eyed peas, mashed potatoes, mac/cheese, and corn pudding. EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT AND FRESH!!!! Our server Cammie was the kindest and made us feel right at home. Kudos to Cammie! We loved everything about this restaurant. Dollywood was so fun! We will definitely be back.

    See all

    Despite being priced like it is, the food was all amazing, and the service was equally amazing!
